The ryokan located only
about a 10 minute bus ride from Kofu Train Station, but Yanagiya Ryokan still
provides a wide space in each room. Area to sit and relax in the middle that
turned into a sleeping area at night, as well as lounge chairs by the window,
and a terrace to enjoy the garden, surely a nice place to stay.

Every year, we
always choose a themed outfit, just for fun, and this year the theme of
"Ugly Christmas Sweater" became our choice. Funnily enough, this
theme has been determined since last year, after we usually exchange gifts
chatting and theme ideas come out by itself.

"Hunting"
ugly Christmas sweater is also a delight, each find a sweater that is suitable
then we will discuss it in the group whatsapp family, and finally we choose
these fun ugly Christmas sweaters. Not only that, to make it more interesting,
my sister, Mandy, create our own stocking full of ribbon ornaments and unique
decoration :)

I know Christmas is more than food festivity, gifts
and outfit, but whatever makes this special day even more fun, always be a nice
addition

The Arborek
village has always become one of the main tourist destinations of Raja Ampat in
West Papua. The village is quiet and surrounded by a sea of blue-tuquoise that
is always fun to visit, Arborek has many advantages that make this village
became one of the must-enjoy the list when you visit Raja Ampat

No need to say,
Raja Ampat is always beautiful. Arborek village is about 1.5 hours away by
speedboat from Waisai, the capital of Raja Ampat. In addition, only need about
an hour to reach one of the interesting spots with views of the coral islands,
namely Pianemo. Meanwhile, if you want to visit Wayag, set a time of 4 hour speedboat
trip from Arborek to get to Wayag.

One thing is for
sure very make us stunned when arriving at Arborek in the afternoon is the
color of the sea is so tempting. Blue, turquoise and beautiful greenery blends,
as well as the color of the white sand and greenery on the mainland, such a
lovely view to enjoy!

Life is simple on
the island. Sleep in a simple inn on the ocean side, enjoyed lounging while
feeling the sea breeze, or take a nap in a hammock that is between the palm
trees? It's surely days you want to repeat in Arborek homestay

EVERYTHING IS WALK DISTANCE

Walk and boat

There are only about 200
local people living in Arborek Village, so don’t expect party and bars on this
island, but hey, who needs bar on this kind of place?:) Di manapun anda menginap di Desa Arborek, hanya
perlu berjalan kaki untuk menuju pantai, dermaga, atau warung-warung di kala
ingin mencari snacks and drinks

Wherever you stay in the village Arborek, only need to walk to get to the
beach, dock, or stalls at the time wanted to look for snacks and drinks

What's better
than greeted by beautiful sunset when you get back from islands hopping? When
our ship docked to the inn located on the beach, a beautiful sunset yellowish
invites us to return to enjoy the fresh sea water, looking at the twilight in
Raja Ampat

ALL IS WELL

perfect in this village, just enjoy your trip and bring back good memories!
